Re: Newbie Question. What's that Plug For?
Doug, you in the Boston area…saw a used Oxbow 11 on craigslist last weekend that was a great deal. I bought my wife the same board…started out venting as noted but don't bother now since it seems there is no issue.
Have fun. [Link]
Re: Weight???
Hey Bill,
I wonder if you would consider adding a "category" field on the form (or another name that might be more appropriate). By category I mean that I would classify all SUPs into one of three categories: 1) All-rounder (the board will do it all: s… [Link]
Re: Cape Cod Bay Challenge Training Diary's
1 1/2 hr surf session yesterday and then 18 holes of golf. I mention the golf because since I swung the club about 400 times ( in 18 holes) I think that counts as a work out. It wasn't pretty.

Re: Anybody ride their SUP as a twin fin?

Re: Vortice SP "custom"
Sam the board looks hot. I hate to say this but the colors go well. A couple of questions:
Did you shape it yourself or was it shaped by someone else?
What size glass are you putting on each side?
Is that your dad helping you?
Did you paint it yourself… [Link]

Re: Newbie Question. What's that Plug For?
Every windsurfer I know who followed those rules, plug in when using it, plug out when not, at some point forgot to screw the plug in and got water in their board.

Re: Newbie Question. What's that Plug For?
The plug is there to release pressure from inside of the board if the temperature increases on it- say if you leave it out in the sun (Charles Law). Or if the pressure decreases, say if you take it to the top of Mount Everest (Boyle's Law).
And like t… [Link]
Re: Banner advertising

Yeah, I understand, but it's like surfing a great spot with your buds (zoners) and watching a bus pull onto the beach. I guess it is a little one-sided of me not to expect Randy to get a little help if its available. To be honest, I'm sure I would even… [Link]

Re: Weight???
Do you know if the listed weights are accurate, Adrian? Hopefully it's diferent with SUBs, but many kayak makers, for example, have a habit of underreporting weights by a significant margin. My last two kayaks were off by 12 pounds each.

Re: Another request for advice from a newbie…
QuoteIn my humble opinion, you've got an odd ball sized board. Almost ALL boards 11 ft long will be 28" wide minimum, and many 29" wide.
The freakish narrow width for such a long board, makes that model fairly advanced by 11 foot standards. So don't … [Link]
